To    the    READER. 

IT  is  acknowledged  by  the  beft  judges  of  the 
iacred  text,  that  the  Book  of  Pfalms,  in  its  ori- 
ginal drefs,  is  a  collection  of  the  mod  elevated  and 
fublime  compofitions  that  are  to  be  found  in  any  lan- 
guage j  and  it  has  been  often  lamented,  that  fo  much 
of  the  piety,  diginity,  and  poetic  excellence  »f  the 
original  has  been  loft  in  all  the  attempts  that  have 
been  yet  made,  to  give  us  a  literal  tranllation  of  it  in 
Englifli  verfe.  Many  Chriftianshave  alfo  wifhed  to  fee 
the  fubftance  of  this  excellent  collection,  cloathed  in 
language  more  adapted  to  the  Wighter  difcoveries  of 
the  gofpel,  and  the  ftate  of  the  Chriftian  worfhip;  that 
they  may  be  funo^^ith  understanding  and  devotion, 
and  thereby  cont^^ite  to  the  elevation  and  improve* 
ment  of  the  Chriftian  temper.— This  has  been  happily 
executed  by  the  learned  and  pious  Dr.  Watts,  and 
the  Pi-'lms  which  he  omitted,  have  been  fupplied  by 
Mr.  Barlow,  nearly  in  the  fame  ipirit  and  ftile, 
and  all  local  references,  which  were  found  in  Dr, 
Watts's  Imitation,  have  been  carefully  altered,  fo 
as  to  render  the  compofition  better  adapted  to  tlie 
eircumftances  of  Chriftians  in  every  country,

THE 

PSALMS    of    DAVID, 

Imitated  in  the  Language  or  the 

NEW    TESTAMENT. 


PSALM    I.     "Common  Metre. 

The  -way  and  end  of  the  righteous  and  the  zv'uhed. 

1  X)  LESS'D  is  the  man  who  fhuns  the  place 

IJ  Where  tinners  love  to  meet  ; 
Who  fears  to  tread  their  wicked  ways, 
And  hates  the  fcoffer's  feat. 

2  But  in  the  (latutes  of  the  Lord 

Has  plac'd  his  chief  delight  ; 
By  day  he  reads  or  hears  the  word, 
And  meditates  by  night. 
[3  He,  like  a  plant  of  generous  kind 
By  living  waters  fet, 
Safe  from  the  ftorms  and  blading  wind, 
Enjoys  a  peaceful  Hate.] 

4  Green  as  the  leaf,  and  ever  fair, 

Shall  his  profeflion  fliine  ; 

While  fruits  of  holinefs  appear 

Like  clutters  on  the  vine. 

5  Not  fo  th'  impious  and  unjuft : 

What  vain  defigns  they  form  ! 
Their  hopes  are  blown  away  like  duft, 
Or  chaff,   before  the  ftorm. 

6  Sinners  in  judgment  fliall  not  ftand 

Among  the  fons  of  grace, 
When  Chriit,  the  judge,  at  his  right  hand 
Appoints  his  faints  a  pl.ice. 

7  His  eye  beholds  the  path  they  tread, 

His  heart  approves  it  well  ; 
But  crooked  ways  of  iinners  lead 
Down  to  the  gates  of  hell.

4  But  tinners  find  their  councils  crofs'd  ;

So  (hall  their  hopes  be  blown  and  loft, 
When  the  hit  trumpet  makes  the  Ikies. 

5  In  vain  the  rebel  feeks  to  ftand 

In  judgment  with  the  pious  race  ; 
The  dreadful  judge,  with  ftern  command, 
Divides  him  to  a  diff'rent  place.

2  Thus  did  our  fuftering  Saviour  pray, 

With  mighty  cries  and  tears, 
God  heard  him  in  that  dreadful  day, 
And  chas'd  away  his  fears. 

3  Great  was  the  victory  of  his  death, 

His  throne  exalted  high  ; 
And  all  the  kindreds  of  the  earth 
Shall  worfliip,  or  ihall  die. 

4  A  numerous  oflspring  muft  arife 

From  his  expiring  groans  ; 
They  fhall  be  reckon'd  in  his  eyes 
For  daughters  and  for  fons. 

5  The  meek  and  humble  fouls  fhall  fee 

His  table  richly  fpread  ; 
And  all  that  feek  the  Lord  fhall  be 
With  joys  immortal  fed. 

6  The  ifles  fhall  know  the  righteoufnefs 

Of  our  incarnate  God, 
And  nations,  yet  unborn,  profefs

Who  place  their  hopes  in  rites  and  forms. 
But  make  not  faith  nor  love  their  care. 

2  Vile  wretches  dare  reharfe  his  name, 

With  lips  of  falfhood  and  deceit  ; 
A  friend  or  brother  they  defame, 

And  foot  he  and  Matter  thole  they  hate. 

3  They  watch  to  do  their  neighbours  wrongs 

Yet  dare  to  feek  their  Maker's  face  ; 
They  take  his  covenant  on  their  tongue, 
But  break  his  laws,  abufe  his  grace. 

4  To  heav'n  they  lift  their  hands  unclean, 

Defil'd  with  luft,  defil'd  with  blood  ; 
By  night  they  practife  every  fin, 

By  day  their  mouths  draw  near  to  God, 

5  And  while  his  judgments  long  delay, 

They  grow  fecure  and  Cm  the  more  ; 
They  think  he  fleeps  as  well  as  they, 
And  put  far  off  the  dreadful  hour. 

6  O  dreadful  hour  !  when  God  draws  near,. 

And  lets  their  crimes  before  their  eyes!

Dare  ye  condemn  the  righteous  poor, 
And  let  rich  iinners  Ycape  fecure, 

While  gold  and  greatr.efs  bribe  your  hand! 
2  Have  ye  forgot,  or  never  knew 
That  God  will  judge  the  judges  too  ? 

High  in  the  heav'ns  his  juftice  reigns ; 
Yet  you  invade  the  rights  of  God  ; 
And  lend  your  bold  decrees  abroad, 
To  bind  the  conlcience  in  your  chains. 
^   A  poifon'd  arrow  is  your  tongue, 
The  arrow  fharp,  the  poilbn  ilrong, 

And  death  attends  where'er  it  wounds  j 
You  hear  no  counfels,  cries,  or  ^ears  j 
So  the  deaf  adder  (lops  her  ears 

Againll  the  power  of  charming  founds.

Arm'd  with  his  dreadful  rod.

Like  an  o'erwhelming  flood :

To  lakes  and  ftreams  of  blood.

About  the  monarch's  bed.
